    July 20 2005

    YEREVAN, JULY 20, ARMENPRESS: In an interview with Armenpress, Mehdi
    Safari, a special envoy of Iranian president on Caspian affairs,
    said relations between Armenia and Iran are progressing, saying
    also economic cooperation is in the limelight of both countries'
    leaderships.

    He said inspired by the growing economic cooperation Armenian and
    Iranian governments are looking for new areas that would enable them
    to use the available potential in full. Safari also underscored mutual
    familiarizing visits of Armenian and Iranian businessmen, traders and
    government officials saying they are important in terms of further
    bolstering of economic collaboration. Mehdi Safari also denied fears
    that the election of a new Iranian president might have any impact
    on bilateral relations saying domestic developments in Iran have no
    impact on Iran's relations with other nations.

    "Iran's relations with Armenia have been developing steadily since
    Armenia regained its independence and this process will continue
    throughout the term of Iran's new president, which is evidenced by
    a series of high-level mutual visits on the eve and in the wake of
    the election," Safari said. Safari also reiterated Iran's official
    approaches towards regional developments, establishment of peace and
    security here saying Iran is determined that all local conflicts must
    be settled by peaceful means and through negotiations.

    The Iranian diplomat also spoke about Armenian-Iranian cooperation in
    energy describing it as "very successful," singling out the ongoing
    construction of Iran-Armenia gas pipeline, soonest completion of
    a wind-mill in Armenia built by Iran and seasonal electricity swap
    between the two countries. He also praised the Armenian government
    for deciding to build a second overland road connecting Armenia
    with Iran saying it will be a serious input in further enhancement
    of cooperation. At the end of his interview Safari commended the
    Armenian community of Iran for its contribution to overall development
    of bilateral relations, saying they enjoy the same rights as the rest
    of Iran's population.
